Chapter 44: Zhang Chen Makes a Strategy
Zhang Chen didn't expect that the old guy Dong Zhuo would call him at this time. He was thinking about what happened in the military camp. After all, counselors like Li Ru and others were not just for a living, so it was not his turn to answer, right? And Jia Xu
This old fox is here.
Zhang Chen thought, but his father-in-law personally called him by name, so he couldn't help but answer, right? This was also related to his future development.
Zhang Chen thought of this, took a step forward, bowed to Dong Zhuo, and said seriously: "Father-in-law, the rebel army of hundreds of thousands is now divided into three parts: north, south, and middle. According to the reports from the soldiers of my Lingying camp,
Among these three armies, the northern army led by Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, the southern army led by the later general Yuan Shu, and the middle army led by Cao Cao, the prefect of Chenliu, have a total strength of more than 400,000 troops. Everyone knows this.
Yes, and the latest information I received this morning, Yuan Shu detached a part of his army to advance towards our army's Sishui Pass, under the banners of "Changsha Sun" and "Pothief Xiaowei Huang". It seems to be led by Changsha Sun Jian
The Jiangdong Army. The rest of the troops are gathering towards the center, and the war is about to break out."
Dong Zhuo sat in his seat and listened silently to the report of his second son-in-law. He was a little surprised that the detailed work he had installed among the rebels was not founded by his son-in-law. It only lasted a little more than three months.
sharp.
"In addition to deploying troops at Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass, our army should send out a team of surprise troops from Hanzhong to surprise the South Route rebels to reduce the strength of the enemy's South Route rebels, and then send out a team of naval troops from Mengjin Port to rob
The rebels' food roads on the northern route prevent them from fully committing to the battle."
"I call it a surprise attack strategy. It is intended to disperse the enemy's effective forces so that our army can concentrate on destroying the army in the middle."
"Good! What a surprise attack strategy!" Lao Dong clapped his hands and looked at his eldest son-in-law Li Ru, who also nodded silently.
"Come here! Send the fastest men and horses to notify Gao Shun in Hanzhong! Let him send out troops to lead troops to Shangyong and capture Wancheng; let Xiang Shu [Dong Min, Dong Zhuo's younger brother, currently in charge of Chang'an] troops go out of Ziwu Valley.
Stay with Gao Shun and his troops; Xu Rong leads 20,000 Xiliang cavalry and 20,000 capital infantry [original He Jin's troops] to rush to the aid of Sishui Pass!; the others will guard Luoyang with my grand master!"
"Yes!" the generals responded.
.......
In May of the first year of Chuping, all the princes gathered in Chenliu, with a total of 420,000 troops, which was known to the outside world as a million troops, and attacked Dong Zhuo's forces at Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass.
Dong Zhuo sent Pingnan General Xu Rong to guard Sishui Pass, while he himself took charge of Luoyang.
Luoyang has already experienced the silence it had before the war. The streets that were usually lively are now filled with troops leaving the city.
Zhang Chen had just been named General Anxi by Dong Zhuo [because Zhang Chen defeated Ma Teng, so he was named General Anxi], and he also followed Dong Zhuo to see off the soldiers who sent troops.
Dong Zhuo's fat body actually looked a bit domineering under the afterglow of the setting sun, which was the domineering look of a superior person.
Xu Rong looked at Dong Zhuo and nodded in salute, because he had already put on his armor and was riding on the horse.
Dong Zhuo looked at Xu Rong's back. The old prince couldn't help but sigh. The generals who fought with him in all directions were either dead or sick. Now there are not many old guys around him. I'm afraid that after this time,
The world is dominated by these juniors.
Dong Zhuo looked at the young Zhang Chen with a hint of smile in his eyes.
Zhang Chen also caught a glimpse of the old guy's eyes. No way, with such a deep look, he wouldn't have any intentions towards me.
If Lao Dong knew what this guy meant, he would definitely vomit blood.
Half an hour later, Xu Rong left the city with 20,000 capital infantry and turned around with the 20,000 Liangzhou Jingqi led by Hua Xiong, heading towards Sishui Pass.
And Dong Zhuo, Zhang Chen, Li Ru and others are all here, because after seeing off Xu Rong, they are now seeing off Lu Bulu Fengxian.
Li Ru suggested that Dong Zhuo should deal a blow to the rebels and destroy their prestige. Lu Bu also volunteered and asked him to lead his 50,000 Bingzhou cavalry to set up camp outside Hulao Pass first.
Lu Bu was sitting on the red rabbit, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, looking very mighty. Looking at Dong Zhuo, Zhang Chen and others on the top of the city, he snorted heavily and rode away without looking at the crowd. Behind him,
Zhang Liao and several others from the Eighth Generals accompanied him.
All the people under Dong Zhuo's command came to Luoyang to support him, and even Ma Teng sent his eldest son Ma Chao to support him.
Zhang Chen has not received orders from Dong Zhuo to send troops in the past few days, but the atmosphere in the city is already tense. He has also greatly enhanced the level of training in the military camp. There are two disciples of the strange old man, Zi Hua Zi, in his house.
